What is the name of the signature burger at Shake Shack?

The story behind the answer

The signature burger at Shake Shack is the ShackBurger. It is the New York-based chain’s best-known classic burger, made with a ShackBurger beef patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce on a toasted potato bun.

Shake Shack began as a hot-dog cart in Madison Square Park in 2001 before becoming a permanent kiosk in 2004. The original menu expanded beyond hot dogs, and the ShackBurger became the item most closely associated with the growing restaurant brand.

A common mix-up is the SmokeShack, which is a separate burger topped with bacon, chopped cherry peppers, and ShackSauce. The vegetarian 'Shroom Burger is another signature menu item, but it is not the chain’s standard namesake burger. The spelling “ShackBurger” is the official stylized name, although “Shackburger” is understandable in ordinary writing.
